1. Saw the ring and it's beautiful. 2. It's okay if it looks big, really it is! 3. Is it platinum? That is what I would want now. My set is gold and white gold.

1. We don't care about a hijacked thread. Heck, it isn't everyday that a TVCHer gets engaged! 2. Some of us will have to move to a different town to even get a date. 3. I have to say that the ring is a beauty! 4. I am eating BBQ ribs right now, for a very late supper.

1. I am so sorry to hear about Ginger and glad we are all rallying to help her. Just learned about the terrible tragedy today when I awoke at 4 am for no logical reason--and decided to check on Tess' Tales! 2. I am thrilled for Froggiegirl! Can't wait to see a pic of her hand with the ring. What a perfectly adorable proposal! What good taste our Froggiegirl has in men and rings! 3. Glad Marm came out of that double donut unscathed! Whew on the fact that there was no traffic around. 4. Glad Spygirl is at home and hope she can just veg out today and treat herself to some TLC. 5. Luvmyjrt, I've had pink eye twice. And I always took a prescription to get over it. I think you should call in to your doc today.

Congratulations, Froggiegirl - isn't it funny how it all of a sudden just happens? I had to laugh about the Chinese food breath - we have a rule that both must brush or neither can brush right after eating Chinese food, to level the plain of relative offensiveness. And the nails for me are always an ongoing issue. We got engaged in the kitchen, too (LOL). Maybe later in the year we can plan a reception for everyone at TVCH who got married this year. Enjoy yourself, and remind your fiancee what a lucky man he is!!

1. I believe Bookworm is an absolute genius, and again, I can't believe how awesome this board is. 2. I posted the symptoms of Henry's sore on his face (see above post), and Bookie said it sounds like he has an abscessed tooth. I did some research on the computer this morning, and I believe she is exactly right! 3. I called the vet and am taking him in at 10:20 this morning. If she hadn't suggested that, I would have thought it was just a bite and continued to treat it with bacitracin for a while longer. In a gazillion years, I would have never connected a sore on his face to his teeth. 4. I'll post when I get back. I'm scared because I think it is going to require a root canal for him. Just like any mom, I don't do very well when one of my guys is in pain or has to endure more pain. 5. I'm also nervous because I know how important teeth are to a dog's health. Bad teeth can create problems for their kidneys, heart, and liver functioning. 6. I'm a little upset with my mom for not telling me about the sore on Friday when it appeared and for not doing anything at all. She also told me yesterday that he peed in the house a lot, and pooped four times - something he never does. Changes in behavior are all we have to go by with our animals! They can't say they hurt.

1. Thank you so much to everyone that posted congratulation messages both here in this thread and in my folder! 2. Thanks to GAL (a fellow engaged TVCH-er) for the great advice and you are correct: he IS very lucky, but I'm very lucky too! 3. I'm still in shock over the whole thing and have to keep looking at the ring to make sure that yes, this really did happen! 4. I'm am trying (very unsuccessfully) to take a picture of the ring on my hand now that the nails are done, but the darned thing keeps coming out blurry!!! 5. Heck I may just post the blurry one anyway! 6. I sure hope Spy's puppy is ok and gets better very soon...it sucks to have a sick, helpless pet. 7. How's the pink eye Luvmyjrt???

1. Congrats, Froggiegirl! I wish you the best in your future. May it be brimming with happiness! 2. Spy, I hope your doggie is okay. I'm sure it will be fine, but keep us posted. 3. On another pet-related note, my youngest cat Chessie has worms. You know the kind.... little wriggly white rice looking things. Am I grossing you all out yet? My vet appointment is tomorrow. 4. I have the hots for the vet. My brother accuses me of making things up just to take my cats in! But Chessie really does have worms! 5. Happy MLK Day! 6. It is exam week at school this week, starting tomorrow. I won't have much to do. It is easy being a librarian during exam week. 7. I had the best weekend with my family! My mom did cry over the scrapbook, but I think it touched her tremendously. 8. I got an application for Dogs for the Deaf today. I sent away for information in December. This is how the process has worked so far-- the first step is to request more information. Then you have to read it over and decide if you want that kind of commitment. If you decide you do, then you request an application and they will send you one. So that is where I am now in the process. I'll keep you guys posted. I'm a little nervous.

1. my kitty had those kind of worms when i got her at 6 weeks old, hermie.....yuck, they are SO GROSS. they get them from ingesting fleas. 2. she has always been a strictly indoor car, so i got her treated for fleas, worms, and sprayed the carpet to kill all the fleas and eggs, and now, almost 4 years later, she has never had fleas since. 3. how 'bout them panthers beating the eagles!? yippee! (sorry froggiegirl!) 4. my friend called me today all excited telling me that they announced on the radio that kelly clarkson and clay aiken are going on tour together. she looked it up and they are coming to st louis! YAY! we are already planning on going. 5.i posted a link to kelly's official website, where she has announced it, and also the list of dates and cities...i posted it in the clay aiken fan club in AI2 folder, since it relates to him, too, and she doesn't have her own folder. 6. along the same lines, i am excited to have AI coming back tonight. 7. i didn't sleep worth sh!t last night, knowing i had to get up an hour earlier just made it that much worse! 8. i decided to go in even earlier tomorrow (5) so that i can still leave when everyone else does. i don't like it when other people can leave and i have to stay. 9. i am loaned out to another department all week, so it should be interesting. HAPPY AI DAY EVERYONE!

1. It would take me days to go back and read all the archives for this thread. 2. I've been spending more time playing games than being online. 3. My niece who moved to L.A. in September has been bugging me to visit her. I'm thinking maybe April or May but I can't decide if I really want to go or not. 4. I'm really looking forward to Mystic in October. 5. I read Tess' Tales everyday. I enjoy them immensely. And a big thank you to the people who fill in when Tess isn't feeling up to it. 6. I still have the same crappy job that I hate and am afraid I'll be stuck there forever. 7. NO, I will not go back to school! 8. I wish I could hit the lottery so that I could have my own business or something like that. 9. I'm going to be 39 in March. When did that happen? How did I get to be almost 40 so quickly? 10. Congrats to Froggie. Big hugs to Ginger. And get well wishes to the furbabies that are sick, and to Lvmyjrt, I hope your pink eye is better soon!

1) Thanks all, the pink eye has moved from the left eye to the both eyes to now just the right eye! Looks like it's on its way out! Thanks for checking on me! Kisses!

1. Henry is up and looks like he's feeling almost normal! I gave him his pain pill, his antibiotic, and some wonderful soft canned food that they both love. 2. I, on the other hand, feel lousy still. I went to sleep at 3:30 and was woken up by a friend in need at 8:20. I am heading to work early.

1. Caleb just left for school, first time since last Tuesday, Yay! 2. I'm feeling quite perky this morning. I have one errand to run in about 40 minutes and after picking up around the house yesterday about the only thing I have to do today is straighten up the living room and a couple loads of laundry. I'm going to be lazy today as much as I can. I'm hoping to be back to my normal routine tomorrow. 3. When I signed Dakota up for kindergarten, I put her birth certificate somewhere I could find it easy (it should have gone back in the file cabinet with the rest, but I knew I would need it now for little league.) I have been looking for two weeks for this birth certificate and can't find it anywhere. Any ideas?

War I had to go to the dept of vital statistics to get copies of the kids birth certificates. I think it was $10.00.

1. DH was mentioned in the paper where he got kicked out of my daughter's basketball game last week for yelling at the ref to do his job. ROFL 2. He's usually so quiet, I know he is so embarrassed. 3. Another game tonite, I wonder how he will behave ... lol

1. LOL, Lady! 2. Mocha, I know I have it here though. I purposely left it somewhere I could just grab it when I needed to sign her up for little league, but I can not remember where I put it, LOL. 3. The funny thing is, the president of the little league is someone I have known for years (his wife was my boss) and he was at the baby showers for both Caleb and Kota that the elderly folks threw for me. He can sign her off with no problem, but the fact that I can't find it is driving me nuts. I don't need it, but I have to have it now, LOL. 4. I'm still giggling over Lady's #1!

1. Wargod, I did the same thing with my power of attorney that my husband left me when he went to Afganistan. 2. I put it someplace really important so that I would always know where it was. I don't think I ever found it. 3. I hated having to tell him if he wouldn't mind taking a break from hunting bad guys to go to the JAG and get me a new one. 4. When he went to Iraq, I told him to get me 2 of them before he left, just in case. I'm pretty sure I can lay hands on at least one of them at this moment. 5. We have a lot of funny kids in this thread today! My 8 yr. old DS is so proud of his burping ability. He has crowned himself the King of Burps. He was in his room and let one out and I heard him say to himself, "23 burps today, yesss!"

1. Jordan is running a fever and has a sore throat today. I'm taking him in this morning to be tested for strep. Poor kid! 2. My daughter found an apartment with a new roommate... thank GOD! Her roommate now throws parties all the time and lets people "sleep" in my daughters bed when she's not home. Yuck! 3. It's supposed to get down to -20 here today, with 40 mph winds! Double yuck! 4. I read that weinermr isn't going to attend the Chicago gathering and I am very very sad! It was my one chance to meet this wonderful human being! 5. I don't have much more to say this morning so.... 6. that's it for me!!

1. I don't really have much to say, but I wanted to post an adorable picture Colossus took yesterday of this little gentleman perched outside his office:
2. Gotta give the little guy a name, any suggestions? 3. The ducklings are now ducks, and they flock like crazy from all over the reservoir for their corn. It's nearly impossible to tell my little babies from the rest of the pack, now, but they're all beautiful and devoted to she who provides the corn; 4. The reservoir is frozen over now, and I saw ducks walking on water for the first time. They looked confused; 5. Lots of work to do today plus packing; 6. We're headed off to Greenville for a few days; 7. I hope it's warmer there than it is here! 7.5 PS I can't believe he got this shot with a digital camera.

1. When I was little my grandparents used to place graham crackers out on the rail of their porch for the squirrels. The one who came the most we called Albert. I think GAL's new squirrel buddy (or actually Collossus' new squirrel buddy I suppose) should be called Albert. 2. It's supposed to be really cold tomorrow- a high of 4 with -30 windchills. I may have to not go to work because it gets sooo cold in there when it's windy. 3. I went to the public library the other day and have never seen a line like I saw there. Not at a library anyway. The checkout line had at least 20 people in it and wrapped around. It was like the return lines after Christmas. 4. I checked out a few cookbooks, an aquarium book, and a few books to read. I know I won't get through the reading books, but I can always renew online! 5. I tried to make this veggie eggplanty thing from one of the cookbooks yesterday but I have this thing where I just can't follow a recipe. It seemed kind of blah so I added artichokes, onions, pasta, and parmesan cheese to the boring eggplant, tomato, and red pepper it called for. Turned out pretty good. 6. LOL about the "King of Burps" How funny! 7. I'm going out of town this weekend to see my old high school friend. She lives about 2 hours away and comes up here every few months but I always feel bad that I don't go down there much. She says she likes it here and would like to move here and that she doesn't mind at all, and I hate where she lives because we grew up there and it's really a pretty crappy city. But I'll go so she doesn't have to drive all the time. It's just that where I live: basically more or less no crime, at least no violent crime; clean; lots to do. Where she lives: I get nervous driving around even though it never bothered me much while I lived there; not a lot to do; very dirty, although they have done a lot in the past few years to try and improve it. 8. her sister just had her baby and my friend is due in May. Her sister took the girl name that she wanted, but it's okay because we're pretty sure she's having a boy. her sister's kids names are Owen and Nora, and she's thinking if she has a boy like we think it will be Ethan, but if it's a girl she had another name that was cute- I just don't remember it right now.

1. I have a feeling someone else is going to post their nine at the same time as me. 2. Kaili, have fun with your friend! 3. I do that thing of putting important things somewhere safe and then forgetting where the safe place is. 4. I swallowed the top ball on my tongue stud yesterday. I've never done that before. 5. I got to see hottie vet when I picked up my cats' worm medicine. 6. Today I get to see hottie eye doctor when I go in for a Lasik checkup. 7. I will almost positively need an "enhancement" for the original surgery. I was extremely nearsighted... I'm talking "tip of the bell curve" nearsighted... and the 20/20 vision I had after the initial surgery has faded a bit. 8. Oh well, at least that is another ten visits with my hottie eye doctor. 9. Sometimes I fantasize about planting a kiss on him when he leans in to look at my eyes. Somehow I think that should stay a fantasy!
