As soon as I found out, I phoned my parents, and tried to convince them, to get me, a ticket, for my Christmas present, this year.

Wish me luck, everyone!!!!

I hope it doesn't wind up snowing in November.

Halloween trick or treating started about 6:45pm and ended at about 9:20pm and this year I kept a tally of how many creepy kids rang our doorbell and there were 144.  about half as many as there have been in recent years which is strange because it's a Saturday night and the weather was great but that's still a good amount  :)

Um.... who locked the October thread? there's still 90 minutes of October left in CAli and I had something to say damn it!  >:(

Not many kids came around my area,I was upstairs with the music turned loud and didn't even care who rang the bell or not.

You, too? We didn't have as many either-but that could have something to do with the fact that it rained-and I do mean RAINED!! The poor kids. A few of them were just soaked to the skin. I usually get 10 bags of Hershey bars. This year, I got 12 because we ALWAYS run out. This year, I still had 2 and 1/2 bags left-and that was AFTER Carlos kept raiding the bowl. Hmmm, what to do with all that left over candy?  ;) :D ;D ;D ;D


I was disappointed in the fact that only 1 of the 3 werewolves that came to our door would howl for us. We howled for them. Winner of the most unusual costume came from a kid who was dressed as a whoopee cushion. I said that in all my years, that was the first whoopee cushion I had ever seen. Just as soon as I said that, his mother (who I know) said, "There's another one" and pointed to a guy also dressed as one. What are the odds?


Early in the evening, one of the cats made a very strange meow. I wasn't too sure which one it was because it wasn't their usual meow so I figured something wasn't right. I found out why. We had a visitor-the neighbor's cat. This cat ALWAYS wants to come in. In fact, when we were in PR, our cat sitter called to say that this cat wanted to come in. After we put the cat out, he kept hanging around the porch. I said to the kids, "Take the cat with you." lol.

I'd like to put 5,000 volts through the doorbell button... >:(

we had a great time last night trick or treating with friends - till the rain started.

Today we went across to West Hartford to buy skis for James, a hockey stick, mouth guard and goggles for Elizabeth.  And then we called in REI for a look round and I bought a pair of boots.

Kids have sorted the candy into like and don't like.  I've sorted their don't like pile into like and don't like.  We are donating the don't like pile to the school candy drive.  Plus the bag of hershey bars I bought to make smores with the soccer girlies yesterday.

Boy Howard, someone has touchy feelings today don't they? :D

So you had a headache from slamming carts all day... that's your job Howard! And if you had a headache... why on earth would you turn music up really loud? Kind of defeats the purpose of soothing your aching head!!

I was disappointed this Halloween, we didn't get nearly as many kids as we normally do. I guess the weather
had a lot to do with it. This year I had a system, fun size candy bars for the younger kids and full size bars for
the older ones. As the night wore on I told the older kids to "Take two, they're free," and the younger kids
were getting handfuls of candy just to get rid of it. As it turns out I still have plenty left over.

In all the post-Halloween excitement Elizabeth and I forgot we'd promised to bake pan de muerto (bread of the dead) for her Spanish class tomorrow.  So it is currently raising for the first time.  I should get to bed around midnight...

Are you threatening to show me your ass?  I've seen worse.

No trick or treaters at all this year.  :-\\

Lots of chocolate for us though!

I feel good and as usual, no one comes down a street that has no decorations or lit porches.  Now  what did my mom do with the candy?  Craving a Milky Way tonight

Are you threatening to show me your ass?  I've seen worse.


No,I turn into a warewolf at midnight. ;)

Missy went to family court today, We were not sure if we were allowed to go up with her so we let her go up by herself. The judge asked Dan what he wanted, he said full custody, he then asked Missy the same question she said I don't know. I told Tim to stand up and see if we could talk for her, but at the same time DanDan starting crying so the bailiff told me I had to leave with him. Luckily the judge saw that Missy was scared so they go to mediation on Dec. 14.

My planned scheduled week off 8-15th was changed because the supervisor told me that the Pathmark vacation contract was renewed and that my 2nd week off won't be until 2010 SO I compromised with my boss to take 8,9 and 10th off then work the rest of the week cause if I take the week off I won't get paid but I need the money so I'll work 20hrs instead of taking a week off without pay.

Just remember howard when they say you get a weeks vacation you don't have to take the whole thing in one full week.. you can always take a couple days off one week and the rest of them the following week.... 

but good job working the situation out with your manager......now if only you'd talk to him about working indoors  ;)

My Father was the one who told me to take the 8th-15th off but oh well you can't win em all. :(

I have a problem here,We have a maid that comes every 2 weeks on Tuesdays and my parents are on vacation but It's Election Day and when she cleans someone supposed to be home,she comes at about 9am or closer to 10am but thing is,I don't know if My Mother And Father told her that they were going on vacation and won't be back in 2 weeks and really I don't have much money to give the maid and I wouldn't want my Mother to pay me back $40.Should I tell the maid to come back in a week or just let her clean and give her the money or tell her to come back in 2 weeks and tell her My Parents will give you the money when they come back?  ???

Are you available to be at home between 9 and 10?  Then be at home and pay her.  If you aren't at home (because of work) then you'll have to clean up instead won't you?

What happened to that big envelope of money you were always complaining about?

No, he said it was probably a panic attack.



Whether it was a panic attack or a heart attack, taking an aspirin couldn't hurt. I really hope he is ok.


As for me, I was poked, prodded, & probed for the second time this year.  8-P 8-P

hopefully you paid her. She probably planned on working and getting paid.
If your parents didn't want her to come they could have canceled her before they left on vacation.

If she had come today I think you should've let her in to work.  After all it wouldn't have been her fault she didn't know.

Anyway no problem, your parents obviously did some advanced planning and told her not to come (perhaps they should've told you as well).  Now you can do the right thing and clean the house!

I have got a major headache.

I did my voting, five measures of the city asking for our support so they can put sewers outside of city limits.  Isn't that cute, But IT'S WRONG ( foghorn).  There are places here in the city they can extend the roads or whatever.  We have business commuters here that commute to the city.

The city I live in had only one thing to vote on: a tax proposal, which I rejected.

We just found out that are 5 year old niece has the swine flu and 103 temp, her sister was visiting us and never told us that she herself has some symptoms, so we are worried because we took Daniel down to visit on Sunday,plus Hannah (who was visiting) has been holding him. We are worried about our nieces,and hope nothing serious happens

I'm so sorry, ninny...and you have so much happening already!  :(  I sure hope your niece will get better soon!  I also hope nobody else gets the swine flu, too.

Thank you all. They told Stacey (sister in law) to keep Nataliah full of liquids & Tylenol and go to the emergency room if any symptoms get worse. Daniel has a little cough,but no temp yet (Thank God). Tim & I both woke up with scratchy throats & runny noses..YIKES!!

I hope everything works out. You & Tim should take echinacea. I wouldn't give it to the baby, though because, I just don't know.


As for us, we are emptying out the kitchen. The work is supposed to start tomorrow (YAY) but I didn't want the mad rush to clear everything out-unfortunately, that is what is happening.  :-\\

Happy that halloween season is over, no more ugly awful looking things in store windows.

The work in the kitchen was supposed to start today. They showed up this morning but we still had so much to move out of the kitchen. So, the guys decided to give us another day. So, they will come back tomorrow for the work to start.


Carlos is getting very antsy and is in a bit of a panic mode. I'm sure it will work out but it is just right now, everything is in chaos. We can't find our dinning room table. We have half the kitchen on it. We moved some stuff to the upstairs kitchen (for those of you who are not aware-this used to be a two family house so we have 2 kitchens-which is going to come in handy for a bit). We are also going to sleep up here for a bit because our bedroom is right off of the kitchen and that way, he can come in and start banging in the morning and it won't disturb us (yes, we sleep late).

It might be even older, depending on when it was made in the candy factory (or wherever it was produced). Still, I don't think the stuff would keep for too long.

It lasts for ages.  Sugar is a great preservative!

God you two are a pair of moaning minnies

I called transportation today to complain about the bus driver allowing another child to pick on my daughter several times sending her home in tears more than once.  They said they will talk to him.  Yeah, like that'll help.  I will just pick her up after play practice instead of letting her take the bus.  I also sent a note to the teacher in charge of the play about why she was no longer taking the bus.  Maybe something will be done there.

I just checked a packet of halloween Peeps I have in the cupboard.  They are best before 04/11.  So I could keep them until next Halloween and still be good.

I went to my music lesson at lunchtime and, since I was running slightly late, I dashed in without taking my bag.  As I was driving home it occured to me I should have checked to see if I'd missed a call on my phone.  But I didn't stop because I hardly ever get calls.  Anyway, you've guessed it, when I got home there was a message on my phone from Elizabeth's school.  She'd hit her head during recess and still felt dizzy.  So I went into school to pick her up.

She looks fine, not feeling sick, pupils normal but keeps feeling dizzy.  :-\\  I hate this bit of being a parent, trying to decide if they need medical attention or not.

I had a bus problem once.  I called school transportation and let all hell break loose.  Then I wrote a letter, and sent it return receipt.  That proves that you have made them aware of the problem, if there are any subsequent problems with the child then you can threaten the family of the other child with protective orders, and the school system with not fulfilling their "duty of care".  Your removing your child removed their incentive to do anything, and that isn't right.

I suppose in the context of Halloween it should.

The phrase moaning minnie has been around much longer though

went into our rental agency yesterday and kicked of in a very polite way. End result is they FINALLY sent a builder out who mended the broken windows. Not sure what is going to happen with the roof, hopefully they will phone me tomorrow and let me know what is going on. It's only taken 3 months and 5 visits from me so far!


My brother's best friend had a heart attack yesterday. What a shock. It really jolts you when it's someone of your age group, who isn't overweight, didn't smoke or drink or eat rubbish........

Thankfully it is only the special bus after play practice.  Her regular route driver takes no crap.  He has even assigned seats because it got out of control.

I didn't tell transportation that I took her off the bus.  The only people I told that were the school...they could still have the problem because this girl is the same age so they see each other at school.  My main reason for taking her off the bus is that she is starting to get past all the crap that happened in fourth grade, the reason we switched schools.  I don't want this to bring back all the feelings from then. 

I just wish the world existed in which she could go to school, learn, do the school play without being tormented.

what did she hit her head on?


She and a friend were running toward a soccer ball to be the first to kick it.  Instead of kicking the ball Elizabeth stepped on it, and then fell backwards when the ball rolled out from under her foot.  She hit her head on the grass.

On and off she's complained about a headache and a 'funny' eye.  I'm like 99% certain its nothing, but just get a little niggle every now and then.  :-\\

Melissa is going back to school today, she is already complaining.She missed most of last year, so she will be a junior instead of a senior.She doesn't do well in regular so they use to send her to an alternative school, but that cost money and they may not because of all the time she missed.

Why did she want to be picked up?

I had a phone call from the room parent of James's class asking if I could help out in school today.  The line was pretty bad and I thought I'd volunteered to make coffee to serve to the veterans.  Turns out I've volunteered to make poppies for the children to take to the veterans!

Why did she want to be picked up?

Because she refuses to go to regular school, that's how much she hates it.

Maybe a community college or technical college or something (not sure what the US equivalent is).  I dropped out of regular school around age 17 for various reasons, got a job and went to technical college part-time for two years and got an equivalent qualification.  Sometimes moving to an environment where people there generally are there because they want to learn (and also don't know your past history) can help.

Only a week? They must have not done much. Right now, the cabinets are gone and they are stripping the floor. They found the original hardwood floor but it looks like it is not salvageable thanks to the guy who did the renovations for Carlos 26 years ago. He put down a board over tile and screwed it down. So, the original floor has screws throughout it and are not coming out. The heads of the screws are coming off. But, we decided to go with tiger wood hardwood click-lock.

The only thing you are having done that we didn't is having a new floor.  The first kitchen we had done had terracotta tiles, which we covered over after the kitchen was fitted.  The second kitchen (in the house we own in the UK) we opted to leave the original ceramic tiles in place.

I obviously don't get how it works over there. You either have a week's paid leave owing to you ...or you don't. Do you have to apply for leave in writing or on a form? Was it approved?  I guess they can always deny leave but it has to be taken sometime....and it is up to management to manage your absence!

I've got a few days off so got nothing much to do today,tomorrow I got a doctor's appointment and Tuesday I think I'll volunteer.

I have to go to Redwood City for training class this week. I work until 1130 then I hit the road!

I have to take a laptop with the class and my hotel has free Wi Fi so I should be around just not all day like I usually am!

Busy weekend!

Out on friday night, loads of rushing round all day saturday to get chores done and get ready for my Dad's birthday yesterday. I had to go into town to return a shirt first thing yesterday, then over to my brother's to help with preparing the dinner we had with my parents.

Today I am meant to meet my Dad for lunch to help him pick an anniversary gift for my Mum for wednesday (45 years!  :o ) he's not sure he will make it on time now as he had to go to the dentist first.  ::)

Got a doctor's appointment later and I also want to show him my carpal tunnel that's been bothering me for a while.

Now the weather is cooling off slightly we have started to dig out our warmer clothes.  That means loads more washing for me. Although we put the clothes away clean, they've gotten dusty.  And Dai has a dust allergy so I need to launder everything again.  Including handwashing the woollens.  :(

I woke aorund 2 this morning with a horrible headache.  I got up in the end and took some ibuprofen.  I hope its not the start of something.  :-\\

I am working on a Christmas present for the kids. This summer when they all came for a visit, I shot about close to 200 photos of all of them.  :o :o :o  I am turning them all into a movie. Having a hard time coming up with music for it. But, I'm having a ball doing it.

Monday monday bla bla  bla bla bla bla

Laundry Laundry  Laundry  Laundry        Laun dry

Scary
I'm getting hairy
You better do something or you'll look like a freak
Because it's growing
Darker
And out from cheek to cheek

^ think I got a stupid little idea here.

Just came back from the doctor,got my regular check-up with blood taken then recommended me the "wrist gauntlet" which is a glove for my carpal tunnel,I wear at night and take it off in the morning and I can also wear it doing carts.

Friday day, doctor's appointment for me, Blood pressure was kinda high but most of it was from the way that the nurses were doing preliminaries (before being seen by the doctor.)  One gave me forms to fill out, another was asking me verbally the same information that I was writing out on the form (what medications I take, insulin, etc.), another was asking what refills I need for prescriptions, and the last was taking my blood pressure.  All at the same time.  I was a little stressed.  ::)  Dr. wants me to take the readings of my normal blood pressure twice a day in my normal "environment" and make a list so he can decide if he wants to increase my medication.  I still need lab work done for my diabetes, just haven't been able to find the time lately.  I need to fast for 12 hours which is always fun.  ::)

Friday night, hubster and I won first place in the live trivia contest (got a $25 gift certificate for the restaurant).

Saturday, I was in the finals contest for the Pittsburgh Pinball League, only made it to semi-finals sections (as I did not score well enough to make it to the last tier of play).  I had lots of fun anyways.

Sunday was kind of resting day, we watched some more episodes of the first season of True Blood (which we rented from the library).  We've already watched all of season 2 so we're just doing it backwards. lol

Today, Hubby and I had our normal couples therapy.  It seems to be going well.  :)

Tonight, off to more trivia. 

I'm exhausted.  :-[ ;D

Feeling discouraged with school right now...  Administration wants us (teachers) to help in "Student Success Centers" (a Intensive Study Hall where failing students will go - by grade level)...  We will be in charge of SSC every other week and our Homeroom the opposite week (we will be combining homerooms and alternating with another teacher).  This part I am not soo concerned with, except for the fact that once again we (teachers) are responsible for failing students...

I just had a parent (and I teach primarily high school, but this was a parent of a jr. high exploratory) of a failing student tell me he did not believe in "homework."  That his child should be taught every thing they need to know in the 8 hour day and NOTHING should be done at home, and he will not help his child succeed by doing "homework.  Well that explains why the child is in "special education" for reading and math - the parent never PRACTICED it with the child.... But it is my responsibility to get a child with 4th grade reading equal with all other children for NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND...

Feeling like I should quit, because there is no way I can achieve the goals set forth an impossible task.  I care for students, and I want them all to learn, and I understand individual learning and learning styles and I try and very my teaching strategies... The bottom line is I have how many students and 6 different preps a day and only 45 minutes to prepare them in  - I go to school a half hour early and am there well past quitting time...  I am at school, very few students ever ask me for assistance, or to "make" up work - which is the most common reason for failures...


Sorry had to vent, and now I will go cry...

It's okay sami...as a rule I don't get along with schools... but I DO realize the individual teachers have a tough gig!

Yeah well I do not seem to be getting along with schools either...  I just am at a loss on how to help kids who do not want to help themselves, and their parents seem to be holding them under as well :(

You can lead a horse to water - but you CANNOT make them drink :P

You can shock them all you like - it still won't make them drink only agitated!  And most of the failing students agitated enough :P

Hey everyone! I haven't been around in quite awhile, things have been crazy on my end. I'll try to stop in from time to time though. I am usually always on Facebook though.  :P

Hey Erin! I was wondering why you hadn't been here as much. But I do see you frequently on Facebook; maybe we can chat there sometime. :) I've been trying to find some old friends on there as of late; I've sent some requests but not many folks have confirmed it yet. Also one of my friends on there recently left the building due to some personal issues, but she gave us a heads-up about it a month in advance. Anyhoo, I try to go there every day if I can. :)

Cat good luck on the project
Patty congrats on the win....
sami sorry about the school crap...

As for me... I know I probably haven't talked about my job hunt very much as of late...but recently I started to apply for volunteer positions (which are unpaid, of course, but I need somethin'), just to get my foot in the door. Last week I found a volunteer position for data entry at a place that's only a few miles from my home; I called the contact person (who was the head supervisor), and on Wednesday of last week I drove up there...on the freeway...and the guy wanted to know a little bit of info about me. (That's why I wasn't online at all last Wednesday during the morning.) So I met with the guy, he told me about their company, and what they do, and he showed me the task that he wants his volunteers to get done. I made some progress on the task, and now I am going back there tomorrow morning at 10.

Sorry I didn't discuss this last week; I just had other stuff on my mind. Even though this is not an actual job position, per se, I am doing something with my time, and I have been looking around for other volunteer positions to apply for. Also, there is a chance that this company can help me find actual job positions that are paid.

good plan jeff...


I drove up to Redwood City yesterday... its about 300 miles north of Santa Barbara.
Had training today- it was good day even tho we were talking about Risk Management the speaker was great! Very funny.

Then I drove to San Bruno... its about 15 miles north....to go to red lobster. Got pulled over by a chippie...not because I was doing anything wrong= which is shocking for me - I wasn't speeding and I wasn't on my cell phone.  the reason he pulled me over is because he ran the plate of the dept. car I was driving and the plate comes back that it expires in '99....

It's a state vehicle- the registration is good from 2000 to 2099  ;D  he'd never seen that before... he apologized for wasting my time  O0

good plan jeff...

thanks Q... my job coach had given that advice to me last month; I even mentioned that I was about ready to just try anything.

So it's good for another 90 years?! :o :o That's...crazy (for lack of a better word or phrase!). I never heard of anything like that either.

he's probably never run a state vehicle before...if he ran the patrol car he was in he'd find it came back the same way...

I guess not...
but still, most people would probably have interpreted "expires in '99" as "it expired 10 years ago". Lots of hidden messages out there....

;D love it.

Just came back from the doctor,got my regular check-up with blood taken then recommended me the "wrist gauntlet" which is a glove for my carpal tunnel,I wear at night and take it off in the morning and I can also wear it doing carts.
I have carpel tunnel too. I have to wear one on both hands each night at the moment, you get used to it. I'd rather do that than have surgery!

Hey Erin,nice to see you again. :)

Then I drove to San Bruno... its about 15 miles north....to go to red lobster.

We went to Red Lobster on Sunday and I was trying to remember who here loved their biscuits.

their biscuits are the only item that have cheese that I will eat....but I have to smother them in Thousand Isle Sauce to mask the fact that there's cheese in them...I still prefer the old biscuits.

I do.


We went to Home Depot today and bought our new kitchen floor. No, not slate like we had planned but hardwood. It should be a close match the rest of the house-except this floor will be newer and the rest of the house, the floor is over 100 years old.

My parents have a line on their calender from the 23-27.  I think they're making some vacation plans.

Last time I went there, which was sometime in 2006 (I think), I wasn't all that impressed with the meal I ate.

That's excellent Jeff !! http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/13/icon_thumright.gif





Good luck Jeff!

Thanks Manda and Phil! I was up there again today and I continued with this project that I'd been working on. I'll be going back there again this Friday. I drove up there on the freeway again...and back. It was my first time traveling southbound on highway 101 between California Street in Ventura and Rose Avenue in Oxnard (a stretch of approximately 9 miles).

thanks jeff and howard. Yes, Jeff..I am on Facebook all the time, drop me a line sometime. Ya, things have been crazy...I'm going through a pretty nasty divorce right now, and it is really taking the best out of me, also I have been dealing with some issues with Vaughn. To say that I am stressed out would be a terrible understatement. Ah well...hopefully I will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel very soon.

Divorce is never easy and it is that much more difficult when I child is involved.  If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me. :)  You and Vaughn are in my prayers.

What era did you visit the highway in, Jeff?  ;)  (Sorry for razzing you but I recently saw the movie "The Time Traveler's wife")


I'm going through a pretty nasty divorce right now, and it is really taking the best out of me,


Best wishes for you Erin.  Divorces are always stressful, even if it's wanted or needed to move on, still sucks going through it.  Best of luck with Vaughn as well.

Sending some good wishes your way, although I am somewhat unsure on how to help :-\\

Jeff - best of luck to you in your new volunteer position.  Hope that will lead to a full time job for you.   :)


I am sure hoping so. Like I said, so far I've enjoyed the whole thing. I found out about this particular position a couple weekends ago from reading a church bulletin...and now I'm a volunteer! :)

Ooopsie, I forgot that there might've been an innuendo there. I should have said something like "It was my first time driving southbound on the 101 freeway...". Cuz I have traveled that freeway hundreds of times...but only as a passenger in the car.

Just bought a wrist gauntlet for my carpal tunnel yesterday,have to wear at night and I can take it off in the morning,the doctor says the bumps on the sides of my wrist are caused by inflammation and this shows I use the computer mouse too much.

the problem is I use my mouse to scroll and the wrist causes a lot of friction when it's moved,Maybe I should buy a gel pad for better comfort,they sell those at Staples.

I found a gel pad useful.  Also check your seat height/desk height.  your forearm should be parallel with the floor.

that's why you have problems.

Our new kitchen floor is going in today-YAY!!!! Our slate floor that is made out of wood.  :D ;D ;D ;D  Also, we need to pack because we are going to Conn. this weekend for my sister's 25 anniversary party/family reunion. Of course that means stopping to see a certain board member.  ;)

We have a good number of them in CA, too...at least in the southwestern portion of the state.

Anyhoo, I stayed at home today and did a little reorganization project, and I managed to discard a few papers I know I don't need anymore.

I feel I'm going to take a personal day from work in other words,this nor'easter that's coming this way could hit us hard with heavy winds and occasional rain/drizzle and I'm tired of coming to work soaken wet when it rains and beoming a laughing stock over there,let someone else get wet,not me!

don't do it.  Prepare for the weather (decent boots, waterproof coat etc.) and take a change or two.  You aren't going to get promoted to indoor work if you keep letting them down last minute like this.

Now that we know which one he works at perhaps we can all write letters about how um conscientious he is and how bad we feel for him working inbad weather and suggest they consider giving an inside job.  ;)

my fear. If it's a job stocking frozen foods we have to hear about how cold it is.
If it's custodial we have to hear about how horrible it is cleaning up after customers. 

I don't think we can win this one.

It's raining here, quite literally inside the library! We have a leak and they are trying to figure out where it is coming from!

If its general shelf stacking - how heavy the boxes are, how sharp the knives they use to open the boxes are, how much the pet food smells, the weird names of the international foods, the 'funny' foreigners who come in to buy the international foods - I think that about covers it!

If its deli work -how funny the cheeses and meats smell, how annoying the customers are wanting the meat sliced a certain way, how aggravating it is to be sanitary and wear a hair net, gloves, and washing hands after every customer....

:D

Cat and Carlos just left.  They called in briefly whilst on their way down to Cat's sister.  It was great to see them.

I needed the money,at the time when I had a job coach he suggested that and he has/had a business relationship with the supervisor.

Oh Could You Do That? Why Thanks. :)

I needed the money,at the time when I had a job coach he suggested that and he has/had a business relationship with the supervisor.

Sometimes you just gotta take any job you can get. Earlier this year, I was determined to find a paying job, cuz I desperately needed money (and still do), but ultimately I had to be a little more open-minded, even if that meant taking a volunteer position.

even if it's the most stinkiest.

Cat and Carlos just left.  They called in briefly whilst on their way down to Cat's sister.  It was great to see them.


How wonderful!  Hope it was a lot of fun to see them!  :)

you guys had a mini-meet?  lucky!!  how fun. any pics? 



I'm gonna have to weed thru a weeks worth of posts to catch up. as for me, I'm good. playing my last softball tourney of the year tomorrow, 1st game at 8am, 3 games tomorrow and then Sunday going with my friend to the Oakland Raider game.  next Tuesday I'm going in for a Cat Scan of my nasal & sinus area so my ear/nose/throat specialist/surgeon can decide what we should do about a nasal pollyp that he feels can be removed and perhaps even surgery to open up my nasal breathing passage a bit more. I hate feeling like my breathing is restricted so he may do some work on me. Lady Di is out to dinner at Chevy's right now with her friends Misi & Blanca and I know they're all 3 talking up a storm. Julie is in San Jose and not coming home for the weekend which bums me out, but I'm busy anyways. she had another accident, a bad one, but she wasn't hurt but her brand new car was thrashed, but miraculously it was able to be fixed and our insurance covered 9 grand while we had to pay a $500 deductible and she has her car back, and it looks like new. well, it is new,it's a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and  she only got it in May. thank God she wasn't hurt and the other car had very minimal damage.

So ...it is a car of the future? (2010)  :o  Glad Julie was okay....with that amount of damage I thought it would be written off!

The weather will be pretty awful today, so I am staying in all day and probably online with it.

Wow,imagine what would happen to the carts?  :o

Missy never came home last night,after visiting her grandma (2 houses down) Her cell phone is off and we are very worried, because we just had a talk with her about visiting friends late at night,and texting guys.

Glad she is okay and that the car was able to be fixed.  Maybe you should buy her a car made out of bubble wrap. ;)

Cat will post pics after the weekend.

School's gonna be on break a few days before Thanksgiving. I'm psyched!

Thanks, she called she is mad at her father so she will not tell us where she is. >:(



Well, at least you know she is okay. 

Thanks, she called she is mad at her father so she will not tell us where she is. >:(


Some tough love is needed here  (and sounds like there was some)....and Missy needs to grow up! She is a parent now and needs work towards acting responsibly.

You must be so relieved that she is safe and sound....

Wow,it just wasn't a good cart day for me,unfortunately I sometimes get the "brunt" of things over there. ::) :(

Wow it was such an eventful day over in the parking lot,I almost got run over twice and the people in the cars,they laugh about it. >:(
people are so sick and twisted over there. ::)

Thanks, she called she is mad at her father so she will not tell us where she is. >:(


I'm glad she finally called!  Still keeping you and your family in my thoughts. 

Cat will post pics after the weekend.
can't wait to see them.  :)


so we did the good daughter and son-in-law thing this evening and took dinner over to Lady Di's mom & dad since her mom just had back surgery. had a colossal bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken (original) bisquits, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw. it was most excellent and they loved the company. it was all good until 'mom' tried to get me to eat some fruit cake  8-P  anyways, home now. earlier this morning at 8am I was on the ball field playing 3 games in a tourney. we lost the first 2, and then completely dominated the other team in the 3rd game. beat them 15-1. unfortunately I had a slight pull on my hamstring in the 2nd game, but managed to continue on and finish the day, it was hard to run but I played on with my injury since this was the last of the year and so now I have all winter to get healed up and in shape for 2010.

thanks Dagny and that's a great idea  8)

glad she checked in and Im sure you are relieved just to know she's safe. hopefully she'll figure out better ways to handle her anger. y'all be in my prayers

Why won't she do that? ???

The good part of it all, it that she has been in contact with you.

This is true,I just wish she wasn't so quick to run off like that. she needs to learn when Daniel is here that she can't run off just because she gets mad.

True, she needs to grow up a lot,it doesn't help that she is easily influenced by her friends.


Why won't she do that? ???

She doesn't want us to come take her home.
She left a message on the computer saying she needs time to herself,which we find funny because when she lived her she came and went as she pleased, but Friday night her one friend left her stranded with no ride home and we told her that type of stuff has to stop. No more running off after midnight,coming home at 2,3,4 in the morning. or like that night not come home at all. It upsets me that instead of calling us for a ride she choose to spend a night with strangers. (she tried to say that she wasn't sure where she was)i fear that one day the sheriff will show up at the door. :(

Tim has tried the tough love(I hate to admit it,but I'm the softy) and every time he starts to give her rules,or lay down the law,she gets madder and does stuff like this to hurt us.

Thanks everyone for caring. :)

Does she have the baby when she pulls this stuff?  Maybe if you explained to her that this kind of behavior could be used by his dad to get custody.

We told her that today,she said she talked to Dan and he said he understood :-\\ hmm till he goes to court.
She did come down a few minutes ago and take Daniel for a while at least it is a little bonding time together.

Sounds like she is one that needs to learn from her own actions.  Don't you wish you could just get it through their thick skulls that you know what you are talking about? ;)

We are now home. As Karen already posted that we stopped in to see her. We were only there for about an hour or so (if that long) because we got a late start and Carlos wanted to be back on the highway before it got dark (and the weather made it get darker earlier). Even though it was only a short visit, it was great to see Karen & the kids again. (Sorry we missed Dai.)

Got to my sister's AFTER the crew from Oklahoma (our OTHER sister & 3 of my nieces) who were staying with my other sister ("Dawg") left.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  But, my dad was staying with the sister I was so I got to visit with him. I did see "Dawg"'s son because he was with my other sister's son and they had dinner with us. My brother-in-law, dad, Carlos & I stayed up late just talking.

The next day, my brother-in-law saved my husband from having to deal with my mother longer than necessary. He recruited him to help set up. I went over to where my mother was staying and I got to see the Oklahoma crew. After visiting for a bit, we all went back to where we were staying to get ready for the party.

My sister & brother-in-law hired a van to bring everyone & take them home. That was very nice. My brother, his wife, their son & girlfriend showed up. His daughter & her wife didn't (they are the ones who live in the next town over).

My sister & brother-in-law did a dance & then there were two slide shows. The first one, two of my sister's put together. They had the voices of Wilma & Fred Flintstone and the guys who were singing "Happy Anniversary" to them but the photos were my sister & brother-in-law. Everyone was just cracking up. Then they showed the one that my nephew (their son) put together. At the end, it said, "In Loving Memory of" and they started showing photos of both my grandmothers, my step-father, my brother-in-law's parents, my other brother-in-law, their dog, a few people I didn't know & of course my sister. I started crying. I looked over at two of my sisters and they were crying to, so I didn't feel so alone.

After dinner, we danced, and danced, and danced. I think just about every song, there were at least one of my sisters or myself up on the dance floor if not all of us. We all do love to dance-well, maybe not two of my nephews and one niece-but I noticed them out on the dance floor at least once. What was truly amazing was the last dance-we all started dancing with whoever and we all ended up in one big group hug. This was the family who rarely even spoke to each other for many, many years. We have been come together more and more over the last few years, it is amazing.

Carlos, my brother-in-law & I stayed up to about 2:30 just talking.

Today, the plan was, the other house full was going to take one of my nieces to the airport and then come over to where we were for lunch. The plane was delayed and they didn't want to leave her alone and we had to hit the road. So, half of us had lunch & my brother's car full left the same time we did-so we missed the others again.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  We had a long drive and wanted to get home before it was too late so we didn't stop to visit with Karen again.


Well, those are the highlights of the weekend.

We are tired, our legs & feet are sore from dancing, but we had a great time.



Cat

Nice to hear you had a great time with your family Cat.

Dai was sorry to miss you on Friday.

Hey all!  I feel like I've been gone forever!  Steve and I went to Florida and on a cruise, and I got to meet Anabel.  It was great.  I will post some pictures as soon as I get around to getting them off of my computer.  The trip was awesome though. 

I have had a crazy week since I've been back.  I kept my great-nephew over night, and got a new tattoo.  I also had to work this weekend because I've been called for jury duty this coming week.  I report to the courthouse tomorrow morning for selection.  I kind of want to get called but I kind of don't!  We'll see what happens.

Anyway, it's great to finally be back.  I have a ton to catch up on!

great to have you back Ash, sounds like your time away was spent well and you also had a mini-meet. that's cool



...as for me, I just got back from the Oakland Raider game where they lost to the lowly Kansas City Chiefs, but my hot link was excellent, and the most cool thing was when 4 fighter jets from the Air Force did a fly-by over the stadium at the end of the Star Spangled Banner. that was awesome, and my buddy got a pic of me with 2 of the Raiderette cheerleaders, so that was a bonus.  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/07/naughty.gif

Didn't sleep too well last night. First Carlos was complaining about his back hurting him. Then the cats started acting up. I heard Elvira bring up a toy that squeaked. The thing is, she doesn't have any toys that squeak.  :o :o :o  I knew exactly what was going on even though it was dark just by both cats reactions. Yup, that right, we have another mouse. The two of them tried to get it all night but were not successful. And of course they kept me up all night with it. I didn't want to tell them to stop because they were just doing their job. This morning it was confirmed that we do indeed have a mouse. I asked Carlos if we should try to catch it and put it outside to save its life or just let the cats have at it. He said we should just let the cats have at it.  :-\\

Okay, I am watching The Price Is Right and the current contestant is a kid wearing a Frankie Says Relax t-shirt.  Drew asks if he knows who the bad is and he said no.  My question, should you be allowed to wear the Frankie Says Relax t-shirt if you have no clue who Frankie Goes To Hollywood is?

I was indeed picked to be a juror, and our trial lasts until Wednesday.  I don't have to be to the courthouse until 1:00 today though.  It's really interesting and really boring at the same time.  I'm enjoying it though.

In 1991 I walked into a Gadzooks store asking if they had any of those shirts and the girl gave me the deer-in-the-headlights look.  I said, "you know the song...'relax...don't do it'..." and she asked, "is that new?"  ::)

I don't know why you can't wear a Frankie Goes To Hollywood T-Shirt,maybe he just likes the band.

It's always amusing when a juror's tummy starts rumbling when the courtroom is in a quiet period....  ;)

The leader of FGTH is Holly Johnson.


Maybe the guy wearing the shirt on TPIR will read this and justify wearing the shirt.  ::) :P

So you got on a jury... that should be somewhat interesting (for lack of a better word). Glad you're enjoying it. :)

In all 3 of the times I've had jury duty, I was never selected for a jury.

I was thinking that, too!  ;D

Some chat area that I used to use alot a couple years ago, there was this spammer guy that would come in every night and say something along the lines that he was trying to sell those t-shirts.  I guess he thought (20 years later) that there would be some nostalgia and it would be a way to make lots of money.  ???  This kid must have bought one.  ;D

Google Relax t-shirts.  There's loads out there - some better than others

We reached a verdict in our trial today that I thought was fair to both parties.  It was a civil suit, so it was honestly kind of boring, but I enjoyed being a part of the jury anyway.  My fellow members were very resonable, and I was happy with the outcome.

Now I need to find a Thanksgiving avatar and post my pics with Anabel...

^ excellent!! ;)

In the past, I feared that if I ever got on a jury, I'd have trouble trying to figure out a verdict with my fellow jurors. But the next time I get a summons (which will probably be in May 2010 at the earliest) and if I get selected, I think I should have some more confidence. :)

How did they pick you as part of the jury?

WARNING!  Shameless blog whoring ahead!

I did my sleep study last night.  You can read about it here.

Very interesting reading Jess.  Major annoyance about the classes though.



AFM today I went to a PTO meeting that went on far too long.  Usually they have coffee and cakes or snacks so I didn't eat before I went.  And today they didn't have anything!  :\'(  Mad dash home for a brief lunch before my flute lesson.  That went pretty well.

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKES!

The cabinets that go above the stove & the hood are up-YAY!!! But, the hood is not hooked up yet (the electrician will be coming on Tuesday to do that). The cabinets also need to be stained. Carlos volunteered to do that. Tomorrow, the guy from Home Depot will be coming over and we are going to decide what to do about the island-whether Home Depot will be building it or our contractor. The new floor is BEAUTIFUL but this project seems to be taking longer than I thought it would. Of course it doesn't help that our contractor doesn't come for a few days.  :-\\

That was an illuminating blog Jess. I hope they get you sorted out in the sleep business soon. Lose sleep and you're losing the battle (like I'm telling you something).  Those CPAP machines aren't cheap either...I have a friend who had to use one several years ago (when he was heavily depressed)...well, he got past it all and eventually gave the thing away as he no longer required it. Recently, ALL his symptoms returned and he now has to fork out AUS $2,000 to get another machine!  :-\\

I'm thinking that my Medicaid will pay for it, but if not, the technician said that the machines are rent to own, so we'll see what happens.  That freaking sucks about your friend, though.  He does not have insurance?

I started doing some more sign practice, this time at http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/lessons/lesson01.htm.  This is the first time I'm looking at the culture.  I also find myself sad.  It's just that I've had a hearing problems since birth and my brain tumor at seven and a mother who has to have her own f n way.  I'm ready to figure out how to start a disabled life and get it started.

Mom don't make me destroy you.   

I have a skin infection, taking anti-biotics.
Not serious tho.

My dad has sleep apnea and sleeps with a CPAP machine.  He said it totally changed his life and he has so much more energy now that he gets a full night's sleep.  You're making awesome progress - you go girl!



How did they pick you as part of the jury?


It was kind of weird.  There were about 50 of us to start out with and they divided us into two groups.  Then half of us went into the courtroom with the judge, the attorneys and the plaintiff and defendant.  They all asked us a bunch of questions, and eventually just eliminated people as they went.  There were only 8 people on my jury, so at the end they called our names and told us that we had to stay and the rest of the people could leave.  It was interesting.

You might want to get it checked out.  Sounds like it could be sleep apnea.  I know that at times I've been half asleep and I stopped breathing, so I jerk awake.  Also, I've started snoring while sleeping on my stomach.  I usually only snore when I sleep on my back, which I rarely do because I have a hard time with the whole breathing thing.

I noticed that the CPAP they hooked me up to at the sleep study helped me a LOT.  It was freaky at first to get used to breathing through my nose (didn't have a full mask on, just one that hooked to my nose), but once I did, man, it was an improvement.  I'm actually looking forward to getting mine.

Nothing much exciting here!  Got my H1N1 and seasonal Flu shots (warning - seasonal flu shots make arm sore)...  Have not noticed rotten egg smelling farts (so someone told me)...
Caught a student in a lie, and she lied to skip out on my Horticulture test (she is rather upset now, because she got caught and she KNOWS it - but won't admit it)....  Found a bottle of prescription meds (without the prescription on the bottle) in the trash - cops have been at school all day (not sure why???).  We seem to have a HUGE problem with prescription meds in the school right now.



ANYONE KNOW - IS Q ALIVE????  I am worried about her.  :-[

I hope it works out for you Jess. I know that wake up in the middle of the night (not breathing feeling) and it sucks and can be scary.  I got a cpap machine earlier this year and the inward flow of air opens my breathing passage well, but the flow is too strong for my exhale so I need to get it recalibrated. I'm not using it, just using breathe right nasal strips and a inhaler and those work well. I've got mild sleep apnea and something else called hyponea or something like that and like there have been many times where I wake up choking. yeah, it's real fun when that happens   ::)  


so where's Q  ???  is she over her cold?

I feel like poop today,got a bad head cold & full of phlegm. Missy & her friend Chelsey spent the night last night, not sure if she plans on staying or going back to her friend Amanda's house, Tim is gone with relatives hunting,which maybe a reason she slept here last night. Not sure how long I can put up with her using the house like a revolving door.I don't want to upset her and tell her that she can't sleep her, but it gets upsetting when she only does it a couple days a week then runs to her friends house and spends the rest of the time there.Tim gets mad because she calls when she needs stuff and after we do things for her she goes back to Amanda's house. The cops say we are responsible for her till she is 21,but we can't make her come back home. We are getting Daniel on Monday, she wrote us a note and said she wants to take him for a few days,I'm not sure if that will happen,we have to take him back on Thanksgiving. I think for those 4 days she can stay home...Timmy comes home on Monday,but leaves right after Thanksgiving dinner because he works at Radio Shack and has to be at work at 5AM on Friday(Black Friday) I have to try to get him into the Dr office to make sure he has no sleep disorder(he feel asleep after driving all day & night and crashed his car)
Good God I've been rambling on.

21?  Wow, you need to move to Utah.  My friend was having issues with her boys being monsters.  When one was 17 and the other was 18 they got into a knock down drag out fight in her house breaking stuff.  She called the cops and the ones that came out told her she could kick them both out as the 17 year old was close enough to 18 that she wouldn't get in trouble.  Plus once they hit 18, she wasn't responsible for them at all.

We are hopefully going to sell our steer calf (aka - Ricco)  today! Sale is tonight.  Hubby and girl are going to take him this afternoon and "show him" off.  They were up at 5:45 this morning washing, drying and fitting (grooming) him...  I am going to miss him, he is pretty calm and so tame.  I hope he makes a good show calf for some little boy or girl (hopefully we will make a little extra on him, because he is sooo tame).  Think dad is going to let the little girls lead him into the ring - way to get the sympathy bidders...

Dad is in the combining - hoping to get that finally finished this weekend as well!  Harvest has D R A G G E D  O U T this year, all the rain and cool weather - blurgh...  I still have no Christmas shopping done  :P

We are planning to go to Sears today to buy a new dishwasher. However, I think the sale ended yesterday.  :-\\

Feel better soon Q



Hope you feel better :)

yeah let the cats do their job... of course if Elvira had worked instead of played with that "toy that squeaked" the problem would've been handled last night  ;)

the probably didn't know it had anything to do with a band at all.... Drew should have asked him who Frankie was and why he thought we should relax.... and the answer is no...people should not where shirts if they don't know what they mean... or what they are about.

Snoz, hope you get feeling better.  :-*

I was indeed picked to be a juror, and our trial lasts until Wednesday.  I don't have to be to the courthouse until 1:00 today though.  It's really interesting and really boring at the same time.  I'm enjoying it though.
