don't know how else to title this one.
i went almost a whole week and didn't even think about "them".
i work out away from computers, etc so i'm not digging for info anymore, no more research, no more stories about how wrong someone was done, just life.
Good for you, WLG!! Enjoy your new -found freedom-it's great!!

ok, i have to tell a funny after all this heavy stuff i posted.
my car broke this weekend.
i just got it paid off and what do you know?
Hey Sparkplug, thanks for sharing-I needed to laugh! The same thing happened to my father-in-law-he was so humiliated when they told him what the problem was! (Worse yet, he had to face my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and husband and tell them!)
Nikita
well, fall is here and it's that time for new shows to come on tv.
what shows are you looking forward to watching?
i marked the ones i want to see in red.
The Amazing Race! I'm an addict! Fortunately, during the summer GSN has been having TAR re-runs so I haven't gone through withdrawal!

i took a chance on a raffle in a variety store, and won a "mothers day cake"!!!
ha, ha !!
it was so freakin' dry, too !!
My husband and I won a trip to Disneyworld back in 1991. We were so in debt at the time we took the cash equivalent and
paid off our bills!

isn't it funny how certain smells can have a strong effect in evoking distant memories?.
i was reminded of this when i just opened my desk drawer.
a little earlier today i bought a local newspaper (which is unusual for me) and didn't have time to read it so i stuck it in the drawer.
Moistened towlettes! Every time I use one it takes me back to Moldova-the people, places, experiences. (had to use them in lieu of running water many times) Can't believe it's been 5 years since I was there! Seems like only yesterday.
I'm sure there are more but that's the 1st one that popped into my memory!

i graduated from high school in 1984!
class of 84 rocked!
1984 graduate.
1983 Philadelphia High School for Girls Class 227! ANyone else out there from Girls High??
.
i dont know if i could do it, it'd almost be like buying tampons.
Have a funny story with regards to condoms.
I am in Market Research and on Tuesday, I was kneeling, scanning an endcap of contraceptives. My husband walks in (he was waiting for me to finish up out in the car) and asks me "how much longer I would be?" I say " not too much-maybe 5 minutes." He gives me a gentle caress on the top of my head and walks back out to the car.
Well, shrieks of laughter emerge from behind me (at the Pharmacy counter!) Apparently, the clerks thought he was a customer who asked me how much the condoms were and then patted me on my head! They thought he was way to appreciative of my help!

this is a thread to say hi to any of your friends that you know lurk on the board, but don't post.
drop 'em a line, in code, if necessary.
i'm gonna say hi to one that i love like a brother.
Well, I wish with all of my heart my brother Gary was lurking! I am currently hoping that he goes through some sort of mid-life crisis as he approaches his 40's. Maybe that will be just the thing to wake him up! (I can dream, can't I??)
Love you Gary!

my favorite one was my father's statement to me after i enrolled in college: .
we can't drag your carcass into armageddon!
What a bunch of asinine statements! And they think they can win us back with such drool??????????
Hugs to all --as I know that even though we can make light of what they said, it still can cut like a knife.

i got hit with a cold about 2 days ago.
i'm feeling much better than yesterday but i've developed this abnoxious cough.
anyone know any cures or at least know something to relieve it a little?
I few months ago, I tried Delsym and was really impressed with it!
